I'm a Wanderlust !: Life is a struggle, accept it !

Well my next phase of life! Varsity life. I always visualized myself studying and pursuing overseas but then again it’s not that bad studying here in Malaysia itself.

Being in university now, life sort off changes in a way and it gets down to how you adjust yourself over there. It did take some time for me to get adjusted and know people there better.

I did reflect on my new experiences that i gained there. I've always beared in mind that everybody is finding their way to fit in and they all somehow act cool and confident. You'll definitely be surrounded by people from different background, culture, nationalities but that one thing everyone has in common is that they are surrounded by strangers and do not want to be rejected. Having an anxiety attack and being terribly homesick at this stage is something normal cause that's what i went through. If you do not find your lifetime friends in the first fortnight, you are certainly not alone. Having a few nerves does not mean you are going wrong.

I then somehow felt that i had to maximize my range of friends and tried being all socially friendly with everyone there.I went to things I knew I'd enjoy. Do not feel you have to keep in with the crowd at all costs. If you have longed to explore different interests or change your image, but not had the chance, university is a great opportunity!

Be organised from the start at all times. University life demands a high level of self-organisation because you have so much of freedom compared to high school. Think about how you divide up your time and get clear how many hours a week of academic work you need to put in. Doing so will help you to make the most of your free time.

Varsity life also opens up to me about how can this outside world be meeting people with really different characters, the surrounding and also makes me learn how to be more independent. You see, we tend to meet people with really different characters especially here at uni

Some are the really nerdy type
